The Naked Beat

by

The band was really hot, playing some fine jazz. The drummer seemed a little off, but then again, with jazz you can never really tell. It wasn't until he dropped his sticks and keeled over that we knew something was definitely wrong. He crashed into his drum set, knocking it all over the small stage. His band mates turned to witness this as the song came screeching to a halt like an indecisive lemming at the edge of a cliff.

Rebecca squeezed my hand as I yelled for Mongo to call an ambulance and then rushed up to the stage...

    Thanks, Neville. The story is just starting to unfold. I had to get all those preliminaries out of the way.
